Justin Coleman, cornerback

If things don’t work out in ‘The Motor City’, Patricia might work out as a nice coach in the NCAA. His recruiting skills aren’t lacking as he’s managed to get some talent to come to the Lions.

Throw Justin Coleman in that conversation. Yes, he’s a bit of a journeyman already. The Lions are the fifth team that Coleman’s been a part of since he entered the league in 2015 (and he was a part of the Patriots’ roster twice). He’s serviceable as he’s produced 123 tackles according to Pro Football Reference (other sources say 128 but that’s another story).

Add that to three career interceptions and two career sacks. The responsibility of covering Nelson Agholor, JJ Arcega-Whiteside, or Mack Hollins falls partially on his shoulders.
